Tailoring is making a strong comeback and suits are being worn on more occasions than any other time.
A brief survey of the factors that traditionally influence fashion is enough to understand that there is a clear shift towards the classic. This means that men choose to wear pieces that are considered classics for fashion in a more modern version. At least this is what the catwalks of the biggest brands, the articles of fashion editors, the choices of fashion experts and the pieces chosen by influencers showed us. What does this mean for your own outfits and how CAN THIS affect your own choices?
The experts are talking about the return of tailoring. Not only men are choosing to buy tailored pieces, but they are choosing to wear them in occasions that they would never have thought to choose. The only certain thing is that tailoring goes beyond the narrow limits of the formal dress code and even office wear. As for how far it goes, that remains a big question as experts cross swords.
Not a few fashion experts have written articles in which they support the expansion of tailoring, even in streetwear. Similar articles have also been hosted in the British Vogue. For every such position, there is an opposite opinion from an equally renowned designer, photographer or stylist. For example the famous photographer of the blog "Street Peeper", Phil Oh, wrote "I don’t know about this “return to tailoring” people are talking about, because what does that even mean? It feels a bit silly or fake that all these dudes who have been wearing streetwear and sneakers and crazy prints are all of a sudden going to start wearing tailored suits and ties and blazers with wingtip shoes this season. It feels a little bit forced.”
The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Certainly, streetwear is not dead, as we read in some fashion articles. On the other hand, tailoring has managed to be reborn and of course reintroduce itself. After all, this is also the reason it has managed to withstand time. You can now go to more places in a suit compared to three years ago. Don't forget that the quarantine made us all dress much more casually and when the lockdown ended, no one wanted to leave their comfort behind. So now it is very normal for men WANTING to find again the elegance of a suit that they may have missed. Moreover, tailoring is not just about the suit. It is a good fabric pants, a vest, a blazer but also a sports jacket. These can be combined in such a fresh way that you can actually even go for a walk.
In fact, during Spring and Summer, fabrics are becoming lighter and colors are becoming brighter. As a result, even suits look more casual than the rest of the year. As for the fit, you will not only find the classic slim ones, but also more baggy or relaxed ones that stand out in casual outfits.

That's why the limits of tailoring are NOT different than the limits of fashion. You can wear whatever you want, wherever you want, as long as you do it in style.
